Nangula wolimba
Ndili mwana, ndinkacheza ndi bambo anga kunyanja komwe kunkakhala azakhali anga ndi amalume anga. Tinakwera bwato lopalasa n’kupita kunyanja n’kukasodza ndi mtengo wansungwi wokha. Monga nangula tinali ndi chingwe chimene chinaikidwa m’chitini cha khofi chimene chinamangidwira ku bwato ndi mfundo. Zinathandiza kuchepetsa kutengeka kwa botilo m’madzi, koma sikunatisungitse mmenemo kwa nthaŵi yaitali m’mafunde amphamvu. Kaŵirikaŵiri tinkafunikira kutsitsa nangula ndi kuikanso bwato mobwerezabwereza. Ndimamvabe kugwedezeka kwamadzi m'mbali mwa botilo. Kukumbukira kumeneku ndi kwamtengo wapatali kwa ine. Dzuwa linatitenthetsa, phokoso lamadzi linali lotonthoza, ndipo kukhala ndi atate kunali kwamtengo wapatali kwa ine. Panthawi imeneyo ndinkaona kuti ndine wotetezeka, wokondedwa komanso wotetezeka.
Tonsefe timafunikira chitetezo, chikondi, ndi chitonthozo. Tikamamatira ku zinthu za dziko lapansi, nthawi zambiri timaona nthaka pansi pa mapazi athu ikusuntha. Zinthu zimasintha, anthu amasintha, komanso thanzi lathu limasintha. Izi zingagwedeze chikhulupiriro chathu. Tiyenera kusintha nthawi zonse malo athu ndikupeza maziko olimba mobwerezabwereza. M'dziko lodzala ndi kusatsimikizika ndi kusintha, chikhulupiriro chimatipatsa maziko osasinthika komanso osagwedezeka: "Chiyembekezo ichi ndi cha ife, nangula wokhazikika komanso wokhazikika, wofika ku kachisi wakumwamba, kulowa m'Malo Opatulika Kwambiri kuseri kwa nsalu yotchinga. Yesu wapita kumeneko patsogolo pathu ndipo ndiye Mkulu wa Ansembe wathu kosatha, monga momwe Melikizedeke analiri." (Hebr 6,19-20)Mawu awa akutikumbutsa kuti mawu a Mulungu ndi oona ndipo tingathe kumudalira. Mwa kupitirizabe kukhulupirira Mulungu, timapeza mwa Iye nangula wathu wolimba komanso wolimba wa chiyembekezo.
Madzi a m’nyanja sanali bata nthawi zonse pamene ine ndi abambo anga tinkapita kukasodza. Mphepo ikayamba, bwato linkagwedezeka, koma kukhalapo kwa abambo anga kunanditeteza. Bambo anga anali nangula wolimba kuposa bwato. Dziko lathu nthawi zina limagwedezeka, makamaka pamene mavuto a moyo atikulira. Muzochitika zotere, tiyenera kukumbukira kuti Atate wathu Wakumwamba ndi Yesu ndi nangula wathu wolimba: "Koma Khristu ali ndi moyo kosatha, ndipo unsembe wake sudzalowedwa m'malo ndi wina. Chifukwa Yesu Khristu ali ndi moyo kosatha ndipo amatipempherera kwa Mulungu, pamapeto pake adzapulumutsa onse amene amabwera kwa Mulungu kudzera mwa Iye." (Hebr 7,24-25).
Ndikukumbukira ulendo wa bwato wopita kumadzi okulirapo kumene mchimwene wanga anandiuza za nsomba zazikulu zokhala ndi mano awo owopsa zimene zimakhala kumeneko. Zinali bwino mpaka mphepoyo inakoka ndipo ngalawayo inayamba kugwedezeka. Ndinkaopa kuti ndigwera m’madzi, koma nditawayang’ana bambo anga ananditsimikizira kuti zonse zikhala bwino. Anatitengera kumadzi odekha ndipo anandichotsera mantha.
Baibulo limatilimbikitsa ndi mawu akuti: “Chifukwa chake tikufuna kuti mupitirizebe ndi changu ichi mpaka kumapeto, kuti mukhale otsimikiza mtima pa chiyembekezo chimene Mulungu wakupatsani.” (Hebr 6,11)Kudzera mu chikhulupiriro ndi chidaliro choperekedwa ndi Mulungu, mutha kupirira mavuto onse ndikupeza mphamvu mu mtendere ndi chitonthozo Chake. Mwanjira imeneyi, timakhalabe olimba mtima ndipo timalola kuti chikondi Chake ndi chisamaliro Chake zopanda malire zititsogolere.
